Alright all, I have a question. And things like this used to work back home for getting advice. So maybe it will work here too.

So there's this whole thing where I've got this romantic history with the sweetest, kindest, most patient and wonderful young woman ever. She might be perfect. Like, as perfect as a woman could ever be. And I don't wanna put expectations on that. But she really is all of those things.

And then I was gone for a while and there was this whole thing where I spent a long time caring about and for this guy. He's so wonderful. Sunny and inspiring, even if he won't see it in himself. Maybe I sorta started realizing I care for him too. Which is really awkward because I really do love said perfect woman. But I think that maybe if I didn't know her I'd probably have figured out that he's amazing a lot sooner?

Then there's me. I've failed the guy and the gal in the past. Sorta let them down and left them alone. Not intentionally mind you. Anyway, they grew kinda close while I was gone. And now I'm not sure if I'm in the way of them. Or if I'm in the way of me.

I'm just making my own life complicated thinking about this, aren't I?

Do you want to meet somewhere?

[legacy_blade]

Yeah, that sounds good. Uh, cafe?

[stealerofhearts]

Sure, I know the place.

[legacy_blade]

Alright then. We can meet there in half an hour? I'll get a coffee in a green cup. I think they have green cups.

[stealerofhearts]

She has green cups.

I'll keep an eye out.

[legacy_blade]

That's good to hear. I'll go over and order something then.

[stealerofhearts]

Sounds good

[legacy_blade]

Okay. Um, I'll be there soon, and wait an hour I guess?

[Instead of responding, Ren elects to embrace a sense of mystery, finding a hoodie to pull over his head before taking his time making his way down to the Cafe, striding in casually, and ordering a coffee at the counter before looking around nonchalantly.

Only one other person seemed to be looking around for someone else and so, once he had his coffee, Ren made his way over to his table, hood pulled low.]

You made it.

[legacy_blade]

[He definitely does order his hot chocolate in a green mug, and it's handed over. Awesome. Then he gets a seat and waits. And, wow, someone actually shows up.]

Are you them then? The person that, uh, was going to help?

[stealerofhearts]

That's me.

[He cracks a wry smile, betraying the mysterious air he was putting on originally.]

I'm Ren.

[legacy_blade]

Hey. Uh. Zack. I'm Zack.

[stealerofhearts]

Hey, Zack. [He offers the guy a polite smile.] You seem nervous.

[legacy_blade]

Of course I'm nervous. This is all really complicated, you know?
